    At present, there is much homework for American students. But home is not a good place for students to do their homework. So there come Homework Clubs. And they are more and more popular in America.

    What is the Homework Club?

    The Homework Club is a good place for students to do their homework. It is very quiet. A teacher will help students prepare for the tests there. The teacher is not to teach students but to give them help when they need.

    Where is the Homework Club?

    The Homework Club is usually in a library or in a classroom. It is a popular activity after school every day. If there is no school that day, Homework Clubs will NOT meet.

    What will students do in the Homework Club?

    In the Homework Club, the students will do their homework for the first hour and then they will draw pictures or play football.

提示: 1）你将成为一名老师；工作会很努力；将和学生们友好相处；不会给他们布置太多的作业。

2）旅游将会很便宜和容易。

3）希望梦想实现。

My life in the future
